| Report of the Advisory Committee

To the’ Voters of the Town of Southboro:

The recommended total budget ($601,757. 03) plus the
total’ recommended warrant articles ($68;794.76) brings the
total warrant to a recommended figure of $669,217.54 which
compares. with :the figure of $559,165.37 which was voted in

1958. This represents an increase of approximately 20% over

the amount recommended last year:

"The aiioun of available funds or “Free Cash” as of
January 1, 1959 as certified by the Director of Accounts is
$150,885.74. This compares with the 1958 “Free Cash” figure
of $100, 228. 63.

mhavetre,4 we canned that $50, 000.00 be snaea
from “Free Cash” and used to reduce the 1959 Tax Rate and
thus make the total expenditures to be raised by taxation
$619,217.54 for’ the year 1959.

: 1959 1958
Total Budgets $601,757.03 $508,466.00
Deduct ‘Fire House’ Money 759.00
Deduct Dog Money 574.75 694.67.
Net Budgets $600,423.28 $507,771.33
Warrant Articles ‘ $ 68,794.26 $ 51,394.04
Total Net Warrant $669,217.54 $559,165.37

EDUCATION

Total expenditures for education of Southboros children
in 1958 amounted to about $253,539.00 and for 1959 the pro-
posed amount is $333,758.00 or an increase of 31%.

1959 will of course be the first year in which the Town will
be sending Grades 9 through 12 to the new Algonquin Region-
al High School and the amount recommended for this purpose
(included above) is $97,970.00.

This highlights the fact that the recommended amount
to support the education of 8 Grades in 1959 amounts to ap-
‘proximately the same amount appropriated for 12 Grades in
1958.

Over and above this, we would: point out that the amount
of $97,970.00 proposed for 1959 for the Algonquin Regional
School is to cover only 4 months of the year September
-through December and obviously with all things remaining
equal, there will be a substantial increase in the amount to
be appropriated for this purpose in 1960 and ensuing years.

The fact of continuing rise in educational expense is sub-
mitted without comment, but this Committee feels that it
oe once again be brought to the attention of the Towns-

people

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN

On March 19th, the Board organized as follows :—

Mr. John Hill, Chairman
Mr. Henry B. Adams.
Mr. Philip W. Burke

The Board met every Wednesday evening at 7.00 P.M. Ap-
proximately Seventy-five (75) special meetnigs were held dur-
ing the year, for various reasons. Although no emergency of
any great import took place during 1958, we still have a con-
siderable amount of drainage problems which we feel cannot
be put off for future consideration. The most pressing prob-
Jems should be dealt with during the year nape.

We wish to call your attention to Article 35, which calls for
an expenditure of Twelve Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-
seven ($12,727.00) Dollars. This item was brought before the
Town Meeting last year, but was dismissed, with the idea that.
an over-all storm-drainage survey might possibly be made
with money made available by Federal Funds.

The traveling public and the Inhabitants in that area of
Richards Road, should not be subjected to the existing condi-
tion, as it now is. Already State and County funds have been
withdrawn from Richards Road under Chapter 81, and will not
be forthcoming until adequate drainage is installed.

All repair and maintenance work on Chapter 81 and 90 roads
was carried out. and completed under the supervision of the .
State’s Department of Public Works. Chapter 90 Construction
on Framingham Road, was completed on schedule as laid out
by the State’s Department of Public Works. Some work was
done on Walnut Hill Road, under Chapter 718. As was pointed
out in our 1957 Report, a new tractor is greatly needéd in our
Highway Department.

Under the ‘Téwn’ Hall Budget; ‘the’ outsidé woodwork on the
building was given two (2) coats of paint — a new rear door
was installed. A new modern lock was installed on the front
door. A new ceiling was installed in the Selectmen’s office
with two (2) coats of paint throughout. The Town Clerk’s and
the Treasurer’s;,offices,. were given two (2) coats. of paint as
well as the Assessors’ office. A new water-cooled automatic
bubbler was installed in the Lower Town, Hall, also, an auto-
matic hot-water heater.

The following street lights were installed during the year:

7 — 1000 lumen
2 — 2500 lumen
. 2 — 3300 lumen |

In order that: Southborough may have the benefit of better
lighting, the Board has requested the Worcesteh County Elec-
‘tric Company to make a survey of our lighting system, with
a recommendation that could be put into effect over a three-
to-six-year period, beginning with the most populated areas.

. Due to the. rapid growth of the Town, many requests are -
made for new or additional services, which, in turn, greatly
increases the already heavy burden on all Town Departments.

Because of increased costs of operating Town Departments

- to keep pace with the times, the Selectmen feel: that to ease

the increasing tax burden, steps should be taken to secure

more industry for the Town, as our neighboring communities

are doing. Several favorable locations are available for indus-
trial developments.

The work in this department, like that in all’ others has:
increased greatly, due to the growth of the town.

Much more time is required to complete assessments and
other duties of this office.

One of the most ifiportant items, is to have fair valuations
on all property,- so that each one will pay their just proportion
of taxes.

With changing values and conditions, we feel that 6wners~
of Réal estate,.can be of great assistance, by meeting with us
and discussing their valuations.

Circumstances are such that, we cannot give all our time to.
this work, however, some of us usually spend part of each | day
at the office.

We have been concerned about the By-law which relates is
the printing of an Assessor’s report; it may be that this prac-
tice can be eliminated, for the reason that, the valuation book
is open to the public and all the necessary information is avail-
able, together with the fact that we meet often, and the cost
of preparing and printing is considerable.

This department as well as the others wish to express our
appreciation to Sheriff Herbert E. Banfill for his long service
to the town as an Assessor and on other various Town com-
mittees which he has served faithfully. The best interest of
the Town was foremost in his decisions, and he was always
- willing to assist anyone with their difficulties.

We wish to thank all other Town Departments for their
cooperation during the year. |

‘Town of Southboro, Mass.

_ I hereby submit the annual report of the Town Treasurer
‘for the year 1958.

Cash Balance January 1, 1958 $150, 320, 00
‘Receipts from all Sources 859; 016: 31
‘Total Available Funds $1,009,336.31
‘Total Payments 782,596.73
‘Cash Balance December 31, 1958 $226,739.58
These funds are accounted for as follows:

‘People’s National Bank of Marlboro 16,123.37
First National Bank of Marlboro 190,464.77

| $226,739.58

Included in both the cash receipts and cash payments fig-
‘ures above is the amount of $75,000.00, which amount was
‘borrowed effective June 13 for a period of five months to pro-
vide working capital. Reflecting the economic conditions, this
loan was made at an excellent interest rate of 7/10 of 1% — a
‘total cost to the Town of only $218.75..

No long term loans were negotiated during 1958.

Reflecting the economic conditions, also, tax title takings
‘increased.

All trust funds in the Treasurer’s care are invested.

It may be.of interest to know that in 1958 there were a total
of sixty-five warrants against which a total.of approximately
7,000 checks were issued. A total of $34,445 was withheld
‘for Federal Income Tax from wages paid. Other withholdings
‘from wages include Worcester Retirement, Teacher’ s Retire-
ment, and Blue Cross; likely to be added to these in 1959 will
‘be State Income Tax withholding.

“TOWN OF SOUTHBOROUGH
PERSONNEL BOARD
1958 REPORT

At the Annual Town Meeting in March, it was voted to
establish one more step in the Salary Administration Plan,
and also to establish 3 step plans for the Director of Veterans
Services and the custodians at the two town halls and the
Library.

During the year, the Board attended to routine business
and also held a public hearing relative to increasing the hourly
pay of the call firemen when fighting brush and forest fires.
Checks were made in nearby towns and also towns of our size
in the state as to rate of pay. It is the Board’s unanimous
recommendation to increase the pay. an brush and forest
fires as follows:

"Call Fireman from $1.00 to $1.50/hour
Call Captains and Lieutenants from $1.15 to $1.65/hour
Call Fire Chief from $1.25 to $1.75/hour

To be effective Jan. 1, 1959.
: A Warrant article has’ been prepared for the town’s ‘approval.

During 1959, the Personnel Board will review all jobs sub- .
ject to the Classification Plan Becording to the Wage, Plan —
Section 15: (D).

It was the Board’s suggestion in 1957 that copies of bud-
gets be sent to the Board prior to their usual meeting with .
the Advisory Board,.so that. proposed money for salaries and
wages could be approved in advance. At the time of this
report no budgets have been received. =

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
AND BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE

- "To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Town of Southborough, Massachusetts.

The Board of Public Welfare and Bureau of Old Age Assist-
ance submits the following report of its work for the past
year ending on December 31, 1958.

- General Relief

. Twenty: Nine persons were aided during 1958. The Town was
billed for three cases aided elsewhere. We received full re-
imbursement, from the State in two cases.

The J. Lowell Bacon, Clarissa Clapp and Winchester Funds
were used for six applicants. Several referrals were made to
the Marshall Fund at Marlboro Hospital.

Aid to Dependent Children

During the year 1958 aid was rendered to eighteen persons
in the category of relief. One case was denied. There is part
reimbursement from the Federal and State Governments for
this. ;

Disability Assistance

The Town of Southborough has granted aid to two persons
who had been approved by the State and Medical Board for
this category of assistance. Both Federal. and State Govern-
ments reimburse the Town for a part of its expenditures.

Old Age Assistance

Forty-one persons were assisted during the year 1958. Re-
imbursement to the Town for a part of these expenditures is
received regularly from the Federal and State Governments.
Of the forty-one persons aided, eight came from other Towns
for whom Southborough is fully reimbursed; for nine others,
who are unsettled, the State assumed full financial responsi-
bility. Four former Southborough residents were aided in
other communities and the proportionate share of their sup-
port is charged to this Town.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH

To the Board of Selectmen
Southbrough, Massachusetts

Gentlemen:

The Board of Health herewith ‘submits a \ report of its work
in 1958.

On January 10th Dr. Theodore Ingalls auiohied from the
Board and John Bartolini was duly appointed by the Select-
men to fill out Dr. Ingalls’ term.

In the past year, increased attention has been focused on

the very real problem of offensive odors stemming from the
waste disposal system of the Deerfoot Meat Co. on Newton
Street. Meetings have been held with engineers and sanitari-
ans representing the M.D.C., the State Board of Health and
the Deerfoot Company. Disposal of the wastes involved pre-
sents a technically difficult situation to which the- answer
continues to be sought. The solution, we believe, will come
through’ continuing collaboration between ‘engineers repre-
senting the State Board of Health and the Deerfoot Meat
Company. Your Board is endeavoring to assure progress in
this direction.
‘'The Board spent much more time than in previous years
on the problems of drainage and sewerage incident to new
building in town. New regulations for sewerage. were: pub-
lished.

For a ‘few years it has been known that some sewerage dis-
posal systems in the vicinity of the corner of Cherry and
Pleasant Streets have communicated with and polluted the
street drainage system in that area ‘which drains to a brook
flowing under’ Learned and Central Streets to the reservoir
basin ‘from which our water is drawn. In the past year it has
become apparent that this hazard to sanitation must be dealt
with.

--The- Board ‘has-:met with engineers of the M:D.C: and Mc-
Carthy. Engineering Co: and ‘is: presenting a warrant article
proposing to-install a small filter bed in the course ‘of the pol-
luted brook. The Board urges support of this article’

Well-Child Conference was held on May 22nd. Diphtheria,
Pertussis and Tetanus and Salk inoculations were given at
this time.

Restaurant inspections have been made and the Board is
pleased to report that all restaurants are conforming to the
regulations of the Town.

On March 4th the Board signed a garbage removal contract
with L. Preston Andrews of Westboro for a three year term.

Communicable diseases reported for 1958 were as follows:
Chicken Pox 64; German Measles 34; Measles 837; Mumps 5;
Scarlet Fever 12; Meningitis 1.

Licenses jasired in 1958 included: Vehicle Milk and Cream
10; Store, Milk and Cream 17; Anti-freeze 13; Nursery
Schools 2; Funeral home 1.

REPORT OF THE FAYVILLE VILLAGE HALL
- COMMITTEE .

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Town of Southborough, Massachusetts.

Gentlemen :

The Fayville Village. Hall has been very busy during the
year 1958. The hall was in use approximately two hundred —
times by the various organizations of the Town. as a regular
meeting place and for parties. Various out of town groups
have used the town hall for various purposes.

Minor repairs have been made to the building during the
year. A new coatroom has been built, with only a lighting
fixture to be installed in the Ladies Room in the future.

The committee has tried to keep the operating expense for
the Fayville Village Hall at a minimum and within our budget.
There has been purchased eight new tables, making a total of
fifteen tables anda seating capacity of 150 people. With the
ar eae of 6 new tables necessary this year we will seat 210
people.

The rules and regulations of the Fayville Village Hall have
been revised and new copies placed on the bulletin board. We
have purchased a new floor polisher and waxer for the town
hall. The business of operating the Fayville Village Hall has
been conducted at the regular: meetings of the committee, on
the second Monday of every month.

COMMITTEE REPORT
. Relative to Hillside Averiue

In accordance with the vote taken under Article 11 of the
Warrant for the Special Town Meeting of September 8, 1958,
this committee was appointed to determine what action, if any,
should be taken in connection with Hillside Avenue.

The Committee determined that Hillside Avenue, as laid out
by the Selectmen and accepted as a public way by vote of the
Annual Town Meeting held on March 26, 1945, is forty feet
wide and runs from the easterly side of Lyman Street for a
distance of about five hundred feét to the stonewall separating
the land of William G. Salmon from that of Joseph Taylor.
Sometime after acceptance, the westerly end of the way was
constructed for a distance of about two hundred fifty feet,
ending about ten feet easterly of the easterly bound of. the
land of Charles H. O’Malley. In the opinion of the committee,
this construction of a sixteen foot traveled way complies with
the requirements of the Department of Public Works, al-
though the drainage facilities, while barely adequate, should
be improved.

The remaining two hundred sixty feet, which slopes slightly
downward to the east, has. never been wrought as a way. A
growth of trees and underbrush cover it to such an extent that
it is completely impassable for any type of vehicle.

Findings .
The committee finds that

(1) In order to coonstruct the remainder of the way,
it would be necessary to clear enough of the land to ac-
commodate the traveled area. No grading, except a pos-
sible small amount of cut and fill to make a constant
grade, would be required. Adequate drainage could be ac-
complished by a shallow gutter on the north side of the
traveled way. ;
way.

(2) The cost of construction for about two hundred
sixty feet to its terminus would be relatively small and
would require no special appropriation.

(3) Construction of ‘a traveled surfdce sixteen feet in
width would be entirely adequate to accommodate any
traffic which might use the way in the forseeable future,
and would conform with the width of both Hillside Ave--
nue and Lyman Street as they are now used.

Recommendations

‘The committee recommends that

(1) A sixteen foot traveled way to be constructed:
_ the easterly end of the way as already in existence to the:
terminus of the way as laid out and accepted previously..

_ (2) Construction be commenced in 1959 and that:
general funds of the Highway Department be used for-
. the purpose.

‘REPORT OF THE
TRUSTEES OF FAY LIBRARY — 1958

The Board of Trustees of Fay Library met ten times during
the year 1958.

The Trustees.are always concerned with the proper mainte-
nance of Library Building. During the past year the frames
of the windows in the main room have been mended: and
painted and new curtains hung. Chairs have been repaired
and it is hoped that the ceiling and walls of the reading room
will be plastered and painted within the next few months.

The Librarians report shows that the total circulation in
both Fay Library and the Fayville Branch has increased: al-
though fewer Juvenile books have been read. On the other
hand more magazines are being read by both adults and chil-
dren. The Trustees plan to post a list of new books in the
schools with the hope that this will stimulate more outside
reading. The Library has purchased more books in various
scientific fields which should be of interest to both old and
young.

The Trustees wish to thank all those who contributed books
to the Library. Such gifts are always welcome. ~

With the aid of Mrs. Hutt, the Librarian, and the interest
of the Town, the Trustees are sure that Fay Library will con-
tinue to be of benefit to the community

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR 1958

To the Honorable Board ‘of Selectmen
Town of Southborough, Massachusetts

Gentlemen:
’ Three subdivision plans were submitted in 1958:

A definitive subdivision plan on Parkerville Road directly
south of Worcester Turnpike was disapproved pending an
engineering study of storm drainage and drainage problems in
that area.

Two preliminary -plans in the Fayville area are currently
under consideration. It is expected that definitive plans will
be submitted to. the Planning Board early in 1959.

‘On August 20, 1958 the Planning Board submitted to the
Federal Housing & Home Finance Agency an application for a
storm drainage survey and plan for all paved roads in the
’ town. If and when the application is approved, the cost of the
survey will be borne initially by the federal government. It is
hoped that this survey will render assistance in the solution
of surface drainage problems arising out of existing and Pro
posed subdivision developments.

‘REPORT OF THE
SOUTHBORO INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

The Industrial Commission has been approached by many
interested in land for industrial use. These prospects, and
owners of industrial land, have been brought together when
possible. Industry interested in construction of first class
buildings seem to desire clarification of new Mehwey construc-
tion before selecting locations.

The trucking industry is actively interested in eeatlOne:
Due to their active night- time operation we have discouraged
them in seeking re-zoning for such use if nearby homes would
be affected.

The new Route 110, and Worcester Hepa. will have
an impact on the southwest side of -town, and might well
dictate some thoughts of changes in our original zoning of
this area.

One business firm, Power Products of Framingham, are
presently building on business land south of Route 9 at Middle
0a

A small machine shop of excellent appearance and construc-
tion has been completed on Marlborough Road. A sales and
service building west of Route 85 on the Turnpike was oc-
cupied the first of 1958, and scheduled for completion in the ~
Spring, with a small addition.

Total assessment of these non-residential properties will
total about $30,000.00.

TOWN COUNSEL’S REPORT

Since the close of World War II the legal problems of gov-
ernment, particularly in small towns, have mounted enorm-
ously. The trend which began with the depression was gradual
‘until 1945. Since then municipal regulations and requirements
have expanded at such a pace that even the specialist in mu-
nicipal law has experienced considerable difficulty in keeping
apace of them, regardless of the extent of his experience and
talent for that branch of the law. In a few rare instances new
laws, such as the procedure to establish liens for unpaid
water bills, have tended to simplify some municipal practices
but, the vast majority of them relate to new and extremely
complex subjects, the novel character of which makes it
impossible to find precedent to guide legal counsel in making
decisions or giving advice. Even the highest courts sometimes
find it almost impossible to place correct interpretations upon
them. Frequent amendments of new laws. are required to
govern situations which were not anticipated by their framers.

Subdivision Control] Laws

Subdivision control laws (which should not be confused with
zoning laws) present a shining example of the confusion and
uncertainties confronting every .counsel, litigant and court
which is required to deal with them. Some type of subdivision
control (although under a different name) have been in effect
since 1920 but until 1936 they were not uniform and gave
municipalities which chose to adopt them a wide latitude in
what they might and what they might not do. Laws for the
purpose of “improved method of municipal planning” which

106

were enacted in 1936 applied to many subjects not covered
previously but municipalities still retained the power to ac-
cept them or not as they saw fit. Those which did adopt them
had considerable leeway in the manner in which they adapted
them to the needs of their particular communities.

In 1953, however, the Legislature in effect, repealed the
old laws and adopted a huge quantity of new ones relating to
subdivisions of land and town planning. These new laws were
called Subdivision Control Laws and applied to all towns
which had adopted or accepted the laws enacted in 1986. The
1953 law took away virtually all the power of towns to exer-
cise any discretion at all.

As the result of a vote taken at the annual Town Meeting
in 1948, Southborough automatically became subject to the
1953 statutes which are so complicated and so rigid in their
application that in many instances it is almost impossible to
know what they mean. Many amendments and decisions of
the Supreme Judicial Court since 1953 have clarified some of
the inconsistencies and incongruities but they have hardly
scratched the surface. Even the most experienced and talented
municipal counsel has great difficulty in trying to determine
what many sections of the law mean and when he has done so,
he can only hope, with no great assurance, that the Courts will
sustain him in his opinion; the layman who attempts to place
his own interpretation upon them is treading on extremely
‘dangerous ground.

The inevitable result of this is litigation! ! ©

. Zoning Laws

Statutes authorizing zoning by-laws were first enacted in
1920 and permitted municipalities for the “purpose of pro-.
moting health,” etc., to regulate and restrict the height: and
size of buildings, the size and width of lots, the density of
population, the location and use of buildings and land, and for
those purposes, to divide themselves into district. Since there
was little need of such regulations and restrictions in most

107

small towns, very few, if any, of them took advantage of the
1920 law which was the grandparent of the present-day
statutes which authorize the adoption of zoning by-laws
(Chapter 40A of the General Laws enacted in 1954). As a
result, many. of the-early court decisions rendered under the
1920 law have little bearing on zoning laws in small towns.
Because the application of such by-laws in cities and large
towns present entirely different problems than those of small
towns, almost all of which have now adopted zoning laws, the
volume of cases relating to the problems of small towns has
increased almost beyond belief. As a result of some of these
decisions a great many amendments have ben made to the
statutes. In fact, there have been so many amendments that
many of the decisions which have come down since 1954 have
become obsolete and now have no bearing on zoning laws and
statutes as they exist today.

General

In addition to the legal ramifications of subdivision and
zoning laws, other legal problems of municipalities have also
increased. Huge public works projects which have been under-
taken by National and State governments, such as the Massa-
chusetts Toll Road and new Route No. 110, have greatly in-
creaseed the needs of legal assistance in small towns. Other
increases have ben caused by the job evaluation program,
Worcester County Retirement System and real estate develop-
ments requiring layouts and acceptances of new highways.

Until 1933 the few legal problems which arose in South-
borough were ably handled by the Board of Selectmen, one or
‘more of whom was an experienced lawyer. Occasionally out-
side counsel was engaged and paid from a special appropria-
tion but there was no provision for town counsel. Since 1933
‘only one lawyer served on the Board of Selectmen for a short
period of time in the early 1950s. From 1933 to 1936 when
new by-laws were adopted legal services were engaged on the
one or two occasions when counsel was required to prosecute
‘or defend suits. Since 1936 the by-laws have provided for the
appointment of town counsel who receives a salary and is paid
for such additional services as might be required of him.

108

Between 1930 and 1933 and between 1946 and 1955 the
town was involved in no litigation of any type but there may
have been one or two suits involving the town between 1933
and 1946. Three suits were brought against the town in 1955,
one still pending in the Middlesex Superior Court, to recover
for injuries sustained as a result of an alleged defect in a
highway and the other two, each involving about $500 to
recover for work alleged to have been done for the town. Both
of these suits have been disposed of at a cost for settlement
of $100. In 1957 a land damage suit was brought in Worcester
Superior Court and this suit was settled for $700. In 1958 the
town has been involved in six law suits. Two of these were
brought in the Worcester Superior Court in connection with
subdivision control laws and two were brought in the same
court in connection with zoning laws. Two criminal complaints
were brought in the Westboro District Court, both involving
alleged violations of the zoning laws and general by-laws. The
two criminal cases have been disposed of, one by conviction
and the other by acquittal. One of the suits in the Superior
Court has been disposed of in favor. of the town. Another has
been tried before'a master whose report has been filed. Final
disposition of this suit has been delayed in an effort to con-
clude the matter by settlement. The other two cases in the
Superior Court are still pending and should be concluded in,
that court in January.

It is probable that two of these cases and possibly the other
will be appealed to the Supreme: Judicial Court. |

Conclusions

Whether it is impossible at this time to foresee the amount
or type of litigation, if any, which will involve the Town in the
future, it is certain that the cause of the six suits brought in
the past year will be present as long as zoning and subdivision
control laws exist in their present form. It is also very likely
that there will be a substantial expansion in real estate de-
velopment, whether. residential, business or industrial and that -
the duties of Town counsel will expand proportionately.

In any case, it is certain that the legal burdens of the Town
will increase enormously and that increased costs of the Law
Department is inevitable.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
Year: Ending December 31, 1958 ;

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Southboro, Mass. .

’ Gentlemen:

- I respectively submit the annual report of financial op-
erations of the town as of December 31, 1958.

Attached hereto are the following statements and sched-
ules:

Balance sheet

Debt Statement

‘Schedule of Receipts
Expenditures and Balances.

Trust Funds _ ;
Salary and Wage Schedule : ee

~< In addition to eetimated receipts hind 218, 038.72
“considered by the Assessors in determining -the amount to be
raised by taxation in 1958, additional receipts. in the amount
of $35,278.74 and $10,898.08 representing unexpended bal-
ances of appropriations together totaling $46,176.82 was
transferred to Excess and Deficiency on December 31, 1958.

At the annual town meetings in 1957 and 1958 it was
recommended by the Advisory Board and voted that all ap-
propriations be raised by taxation rather than by transfer
of funds from surplus in order to increase the cash balance
and avoid if possible the necessity and expense of borrowing
in anticipation of tax collections. The wisdom of such recom-
mendation and vote is reflected in the increase in the cash
balance from $144,098.94 on January 1, 1957 to $226,739.58
at January 1, 1959.

134

After deducting outstanding taxes of $38,168.97 and a
reimbursement of $132. due from the County for the care
and destruction of dogs, the amount of free cash as of Janu-
ary 1, 1959 is $150,885.74 which amount has been certified
by the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxa-
tion Bureau of Accounts. .

I extend to you the Board of Selectmen, Town Officers
and Department heads my sincere appreciation for the co-
operation given: me during the year. ...

_ Respectfully yours,

FRED BAKER
Town Accountant

To the. Citizens of Southboro:

Your School Committee, at this time, submits a report
of the progress made during the year 1958, as well as its
plans to attain better educational leadership for the future.

TEACHERS’ SALARY INCREASE _

The minimum salary for teachers was raised from $3,700
‘to $4,000. This measure was taken to enable our system to
‘be on a parallel with salaries of surrounding towns in order
‘to obtain the qualified teachers so necessary for a better
education and to lessen the turnover of our good teachers. It
might be pointed out that a bill is now pending in the State
Legislature to raise the state-minimum to $4,500. :

. SCHOOL HOUSING NEEDS

In the town warrant, an article has been inserted recom-
mending that a committee be formed for the purpose of study-
ing the town’s school housing needs. In view of the new build-
‘ing in town and the increasing population, it will be necessary
: to plan for new school construction. Up to now the town has
been fortunate in not resorting to double sessions. This is an
_ obvious hindrance to children’s education.

‘CHE DAVIES-BRICKNELL SYSTEM

The committee is pleased to announce the installation of
the Davies-Bricknell System of School Board Policy and Ad-
ministration in our system. This plan enables the School Board
to‘define clearly and to formulate school policy as differenti-
ated from administration of. school affairs.

ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM

For the third successive year, your school committee is
sponsoring an adult education program. We wish to thank
Mrs. Harold Bauld, Mrs.-Cronin and all-other citizens associa-
ted with the program for their services in achieving this con-

“igtructive and successful program.

“160

PERSONNEL AND ALGONQUIN
REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

‘It appears that our. regional high school will open as
scheduled in September, 1959, ‘based on the contractor’s re-
port that progress is running according to schedule in spite
of strikes by the plumbers, laborers and glass suppliers. The
latter phase has. necessivaced the closing in of the building
with plastic covering at the expense of the contractor.

The official name for the school is Algonauin Regional
High School. We are pleased to announce that Mr. James
Higgiston, principal of Peters High School,. has been ap-
pointed principal of our new regional high school.

Other appointments include those of Mrs. Mary Mullen
as principal of the Albert ‘S. Woodward Memorial School and
Mr. Raymond Plotczyk, former principal of the Berlin Schools,
as assistant superintendent of the Northboro, Southboro, Ber-
lin Union aswell as.the Regional High School. We feel that
the addition of Mr. Plotezyk to the administrative staff will
aid Mr. Poole in formulating new plans toward raising our
educational standards so essential in keeping up with pro-
gress in education.

OPEN SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS

A new State Law has recently been passed which provides
that all committee meetings be open to the public. This does
not affect our policy in any way as we have always invited
the taxpayers to attend our meetings.

CHANGES IN SCHOOL HOURS

A ruling from the Commissioner of Education has neces-
sitated the addition of more school time. All secondary schools.
must be in session 5% hours per day, exclusive of lunch and.

recess. All elementary schools must be in session 5 hours per
aay

ici

ACCELERATED P PROGRAM Bianca

In ce High School, we , nati a program whereby stu-
dents are grouped according to ability. This program will bet-
ter adapt the students for the more rigorous ‘schedule of
curriculum proposed for. the pmepional school. ;

SCHOOL GYMNASIUM AND CAFETERIA

May we again call attention to the people of the town
that the facilities of the Woodward School Cafeteria and Gym-
nasium are available to civic groups at any time. All infor-
mation may be obtained from the pEODe A in regard to rental
fees.

For the excellent cooperation that we have received frora
the citizens of the town and the school personnel, we ex-
press our sincere appreciation.

“REPORT OF THE 92°97" os
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Committee and
Citizens of Southboro:

In reporting to you this year I should like to focus at-
tention primarily on school housing. Only as we anticipate
problems yet to come can be sure that there will be adequate
time to plan the-soundest solutions. Plans made in haste to
meet emergencies are seldom as effective as remedial plans -de-
veloped well in advance of crises.

TWO VITAL DECISIONS

The community is faced with two critical decisions with
regard to school housing in the very near future. In order
to clarify these problems in the public mind, a brief summary
of the housing situation will be presented here. -

The high school housing outlook is very good. The Al-
gonquin Regional High Schoo] will open with an enrollment
of approximately five hundred pupils and a capacity of one
thousand. There should be no problem of high. school space
for ten years at least.

With regard to elementary grades one through six, there
is no immediate problem. Statistical projection five years
ahead indicates a population of five hundred which can be
handled comfortably by our present elementary capacity of
eighteen rooms or five hundred forty children.

A real problem exists at the junior high level, grades
seven and eight. We have only four classrooms at the Wood-
ward School available next year for 142 students. By using
the homemaking laboratory as a temporary. classroom we ‘can
meet next year’s need. The next five years will bring the
junior high shortage to a probable three rooms.

Beyond this point we can expect a general increase in all
eight grades which will gradually bring about a need for 32
classrooms in contrast to the presently available 22 class-
rooms in the Annex, South Union, and Woodward Schools.

The second problem has. to: do with the disposition of
Peters High School. Although probably structurally sound,
the building is functionally obsolete as a school building and
has been for many years. Because of its layout, any attempt
to remodel would be very expensive and the final result un-
satisfactory in many respects. While safety precautions have
been carefully taken in the past, it has been a matter of grave
and constant concern as to whether it would be possible to
evacuate safely all students in case of fire. This: concern has
been serious enough with high school age youth. With child-
ren in the first eight grades the risk would seem to be in-
tolerable. A four-story wooden building does not appear to
be a fit place to house little children under any circumstances.
This matter should receive careful study by the community
before a decision is reached. It appears that this building may
have outlived its usefulness.

PROMOTIONS

During the past decade this school district has grown
from 1042 pupils, 46 teachers, and a budget of $159,000 to its
present size of 2262 pupils, 105. teachers, and a budget of
$665,000. The work load on the central office has increased
to the point that the District School Committee has appointed
Mr. Raymond A. Plotezyk as Assistant Superintendent of
Schools. This promotion has been earned by twelve years of
excellent service as Principal of the Berlin Memorial School.

Southboro can take pride that James A. Higgiston, its
high school principal for the past ten years, has been selected
a principal of the Algonquin Regional High School. Mrs. Mary
Mullen, for many years a teaching principal in the Southboro
schools, will become supervising principal in. charge of the
Woodward. School; next fall. These promotions are well-
deserved and we extend our best wishes to all three admini-
strators in their new responsibilities.

CONCLUSION

To all those many people who, through personal: effort,
have helped to make the past year-a good one for Southboro’s
school children, I extend my deep appreciation.

Respectfully submitted,
ROGER K. POOLE,
Superintendent of Schools

REPORT OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Mr. Roger K. Poole
Superintedent of Schools
Southborough, Massachusetts

Dear Mr. Poole:

Graduation exercises for the Class of 1958 were held on.
June 10, 1958, at the Albert S. Woodward Memorial School
Auditorium, when diplomas were awarded to 28 seniors.
Twelve graduates, or 43% (approximately the state average)
have since enrolled at institutions of higher learning; and .
two other have enlisted in the Armed-Services.

Awards of $250 each were made to Marcia Trioli and Peter
Kehew from the Robinson Memorial Fund for excellence in
academic achievement. A state scholarship in the field of nurs-
ing was also awarded to Marcia Trioli for the University of
Massachusetts; and Peter Kehew was the recipient of an an-
nual scholarship of $900 from Boston University as a most
promising student. .

A record size enrollment of 287 pupils in our six-year junior-
. senior high school was registered on September 8, 1958. With
a membership. of 42 seniors our final graduating class in June

of 1959 should ‘exceed, by a wide markin, the previous high.
of 33 diploma awards to the class of 1950.

Mr. George Alfke, our new director of guidance, is pres-
ently assisting these prospective June graduates with their
individual problems. of college placement. It is to be antici-
pated. that 40 to 50 per cent of the class will continue on to
higher education. .

At the junior high level we now have two sections for
Grade VIII and three group section for Grade VII. In accord
with the recommendations of the Dr. Conant Report, ability
groupings have been established on the basis of reading
levels. Ability grouping now makes it possible to offer greatly

165°

improved programs for the gifted students, as well as those
who have need for remedial instruction.- Enrichment of con-
tent we have been able to provide thus far; and acceleration
cf subject matter is in the offing for the very near future.

This arrangement of curriculum offering, I consider to be
a most significant accomplishment here during the past school
year. Not only is it in line with established national trends,
but also it is well timed for these junior high students who
are soon to enroll at the Algonquin Regional High School,
where curriculum offerings .at three levels-of ability will be
offered in each grade.

During the course of the past ten years physical educa-
tion, guidance and driver-training education have become an
integral part of the high school curriculum. I am happy to
report that Southborough has kept pace in each of these res-
pective fields. To the tax-payers we are appreciative for the
provision of funds to provide physical education and guidance.
To Mr. Alton Spurr we owe a special expression of thanks for
the courtesy use of a dual controlled driver-training automo-
bile. There is a tremendous demand for this course, which
ve are offering again this year to members of the junior
class. :

In the field of interscholastic sports, the past year was a
most successful one. The Peters High School girls’ team won
the league championhip in softball for the sixth time in ten
years. Our boys’ basketball team won the championship of
the East Central League for the first time since its organ-
ization in 1948.

For the very excellent cooperation that I have received
from the entire school department, I express my sincere
appreciation.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF
‘PETERS HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX

Mr. Roger K. Poole
Superintendent of Schools
Southborough, - Massachusetts

Dear Mr. Poole:

I herewith submit my annual report as principal of Peters
High School Annex.

We are endeavoring to offer the children in our. school a
well-balanced program. Reading, arithmetic, writing and
language (oral and written composition, spelling and correct
usage) are stressed in proper emphasis for the grade level.
Science and social studies start in grade one. Text books
are available for all children in both of these subjects. How-
ever, the book is only one tool and must be supplemented by
many and varied activities. Music, art and physical education
are included in our curriculum. Each grade has a thirty-min-
ute period with the music supervisor and: with the art super-
visor every week and two twenty-minute periods of super-
vised physical education a week. Occasionally the schedule is
re-arranged so that the classes can be conducted in the gym-’
nasium at the Woodward School.

Under the supervision of the Rinehart Functional Hand-
writing system we are using manuscript instead of cursive
writing in the first grades this year. Words formed ‘in this
way look more like those the children encounter in their
reading experiences. Thus writing becomes more meaningful
and useful. We are planning to begin the change to cursive
writing during the last half of second grade.

Another innovation which has proved beneficial is the
lengthening of the morning session by moving the closing
time from 11:00 to 11:30.

We are all grateful to those who made it possible for us
to procure the. playground equipment, need for which was
mentioned in last year’s report.

In conclusion I wish to thank you and all those who have
assisted us in any way during the year.

Respectfully submitted,

MARY C. HAYES,
Principal

REPORT. OF THE PRINCIPAL
OF THE INTERMEDIATE GRADES’. *

Mr. Roger K. Poole
Superintendent of: Schools
Southborough, Massachusetts

Dear Mr. Poole:

It gives me pleasure to submit wy annual report as prin-
cipal of the elementary division of the. Albert S. Woodward
Memorial School.

_We have, at the present time, a record ahtollment of 227

pupils in the intermediate grades. This figure represents
three sixth grades, three fifth grades, two fourth grades, and
“one third grade, with an average of 25 pupils per grade.

A successful reading program is of primary importance
-in the intermediate grades. This year at the fifth and sixth
grade levels we are trying an interesting experiment which
we feel will AmIpRONe the reading abilities of all the pupils con-
cerned.

We have found from the results of the Jowa Every Pupil
Tests of Basic Skills ‘which are given every June that reading
abilities in a single classroom may span several grades.

With this variation in reading skill, the average material
for the grade is not suitabe to the abilities of all the children.
Sometimes the texts are too difficult for at least one third of
the class, and fail to challenge the top third. By ability
grouping we can provide the. material best suited to neaen
child.

In previous years the aldgerbori teacher icant the these
or four reading groups, spending a limited amount of time.
with each group.

This year all she grade pupils in the top group have
reading together. The teacher has an opportunity to provide
a more extensive enrichmen program, to challenge the abil-

168

ities of the gifted -students, and to prepare them for the
stepped-up program which awaits them in junior and senior
high school.

The pupils whose test results showed them to be. in the
middle group meet together and work with books and materi--
als suited to teir abilities. When they are ready they may
move to the top group. en

The pupils who have reading difficulties comprise the
third group. In this group the teacher is able to give each
pupil individual help. The reading difficulties are diagnosed,
and remedial work is begun to correct the trouble.

Our new reading program has been in operation in grades
5 and 6 since late fall, and pupils and teachers feel that it
will be successful.

We shall be able to evaluate our reading program in a
scientific manner when we test the pupils in June.

In previous years Southborough children have ‘tested at
or above the national average in the Iowa tests. This year
we shall be looking for an increased growth in individual
achievement‘in reading and related language arts tor all of
our pupils.

At this time we should like to acknowledge Mr. and Mrs.
Durward E. McClard’s gift of a beautiful 4-speed record
player in memory of their son, Joseph Wilson McClard.

The staff joins me in expressing our sincere appreciation
to you, Mr. Poole, to the School Committee, and to the par-

ents for helping us to do our very Best for the children of
Southborough.

Respectfully submitted,

MARY MULLEN,
Principal

Dear Mr. Poole:

‘Tt is with pleasure that I submit this santa report of

the functions and activities of the South Union School.

Considerable progress. has been made during the year
stressing character building, leadership, and pupil service.

a well planned program of guidance and testing has been.
established as an important phase of. school work.. The needs.
and requirements of each pupil are carefully’ supervised by:

and the Maporium were enjoyed by the children. These trips.
increasé the child’s knowledge and teaches him confidence,
thoughtfulness and self-reliance.
_. . The mothers of the school children, by successfully or-
ganizing food sales and a bazaar, have made it possible for:
our playground to have six seesaws, that are in constant use.
Also, a, set of the World Book Encyclopedia has been pur-
chased. The fine cooperation and work:of the mothers of the:
South Union School children is deeply appreciated.
